Dollstown 17 and 18 year boys and girls - Part 2

I got my girl today Well actually, she came yesterday but I wasn’t home to receive her

This is my first Dollstown- I was not prepared for it Her resin is very different than the dolls I have or have had.
Very textured, I feel like I’m handling a ceramic or something
Any care tips I should be aware of for Dollstown? I plan to send her to a faceup artist (maybe komorebi ) Should I request anything special? I notice ShinBi eyelids are thinly sculpted and looks like it has small chips- should I get those smoothed out?
Any tips I will take

 

@krystina I'm glad she made it there safe and sound! By chips do you mean flash, leftover resin? Or do you mean the eyelids are actually chipped?

 

Thank you @lutke I’ve been playing with her for the last couple days, I just love how easy she is to pose and still discovering what style I want her to have. I really love the copper oriental color- it’s a very warm brown so I’m thinking I should go with a warm tone faceup.

For the eyelids, on her right one is just a teeny chip on the very edge of the eyelid (not the crease) but I noticed the lid part in general looks a bit brittle and uneven. When I get a chance I’ll post a pic. I’m sure once she’s faced up it probably won’t make a difference - I’m thinking to ask the artist to see what they recommend since they’ve done so many.

 

@krystina Try to shine a flashlight from behind the eyelids to see if there's a crack. If it's not flash it could be an air bubble? You could send a mail to DT about it.

 

Thanks @lutke I will try that!

 

@krystina in the meantime, post pictures (if you want)! Especially of the posing! I've been eyeing the 16 for a future doll because the torso's mobility does look amazing and I'm sure it's a lot of fun to handle.
I'm still undecided if to get my Kana in Copper or just Oriental; I can't guess the exact color from user pictures because it varies wildly from picture to picture and I want to exclude very old pictures which may have a different shade. I am slightly biased toward Oriental because Kana's face works slightly better in a lighter skin tone for me, but I really want a doll in tan to style a bit more sunny.
Actually does anyone have two recently cast dolls in Oriental and Copper, side by side? Sorry for pinging you @animemom but I think you do and maybe you can help?

 

Yes! I have a busy week this week going to the weekend (cleaning my place as I’m having family over etc) but as soon as they gone I will definitely take pics and post

And yes I agree, user pics are really hard to nail this color accurately. In daylight she looks more pink tan but in indoor light, looks a little more yellow tan (not really yellow, like a tint). It’s a very beautiful tan- I’m very pleased.

And the 16 year body is perfect for me- I didn’t want too tall of a doll and the 13 body looked too small. I’m now planning more girls this size (I want a Mano, Evana, Seola, and also looking at Kanna ) I agree on your take with Kanna- but I also can’t help but think she would be amazing in copper too. I wish DT posted more pics of their dolls in Copper with faceup- I need to see the range with this resin color.

 

Sorry I sold my cooper oriental girl or rather I gave her to my BFF. To many dolls here and she already had bought two others so I sent #3 along.

 

I will say the cooper oriental is a beautiful color but flaws in the resin show very strongly like it does in tan.

 

Thanks for the info @animemom!

 

@Lirin do you type the password in manually or do you use a manager or the saved password from the browser? Did the account work before? If you have other languages on your device and you're typing manually, you might be trying to type with the wrong keyboard (it happened to me ) The "password is too long" sort of message - if the number of characters is right - can appear when you are typing non-standard special characters (something like extended ASCII like ö or Ñ and not the usual characters like $%&@?! etc.) I have never had issues with passwords on the DT site and I just logged out and back in, but I've had this happen on other sites.

This makes me think the account was never registered to begin with. Did you just make it?

 

I have the same problem as you: I never receive the email with the temporary password, even in my spam. You can ask AnjonghaK. He will send you a temporary password that you can change later. He kindly helped me last year because I couldn't remember mine. (And of course, I forgot about it again. I'll have to bother him again soon, for another order. )
